Fully Loaded Vegan Nachos

These fully loaded vegan nachos can serve three purposes: they make a great appetizer for a small crowd a game day snack for sports watchers; and they can even function as an emergency dinner. Piled with corn, beans, vegan cheese, and veggies, these tasty nachos that can be made with pantry and refrigerator staples in a matter of minutes, nachos are fun fare no matter what.

Since the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of this and a cup of that, you’ll have more of the ingredients called for left, so you can always whip up another batch if this first one goes quickly. For those times when you’d like to serve these nachos as an emergency dinner, here are a few ideas:

Homemade tortilla chips

When you have more time, this is even better made with homemade tortilla chips. Cut 8 to 12 good-quality corn tortillas into six even wedges each (kitchen shears make this easy to do). Mini-tortillas can simply be cut into quarters.

Spread on 1 or 2 large parchment-line baking sheets in a single layer. Bake at 375º F or 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp, stirring once or twice during the process. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
